I wanted to say Qui-Gon...but then...C-3PO kind of ties it all together.

Anakin built him...then he was sold to Luke via Uncle Owen...then he kinda migrates his way to Leia.

3PO is that tangible connection between Anakin and his children -- and for that reason, I'm picking C-3PO._________________Husband isn't a Star Wars fan...but he bought me the Saga on Blu-ray so all is good in the Galaxy.

C3PO. Could you imagine Star Wars without some of the best comic relief in movies ever? Qui-Gon was a throwaway character in comparison.

OK!! OK!!! You are free to choose ... Of Course!

But NO Dissing Qui-Gon!

Holding Breath!!! Breeeath ... Breath ... Breaaaath!

YES!!! Star Wars CAN be imagined without C-3PO ...

Of course he is funny, arrogant, and our "good 'ol Goldie" ... But SERIOUSLY? Throw Away???

The IMPACT Qui-Gon had and still has!??

Qui-Gon was revered by Obi-Wan ...
... and He Mastered and Mentored OBI-WAN!!!

Need I say more??

Breath ... Breeeeaaath ... I need water!

C-3PO!
Please get me some water - driiinking water!!?

HELP ME Obi-Wan ... _________________There is no try!

Haha, you bring up a good point, but from a purely movie perspective (And I'm a bit of an OT purist myself...) Qui-Gon isn't even around when Obi-Wan matures into this total badass, hardened by the clone wars and wizened by everything that has happened in the universe around him. I dunno, I just think that you replace Qui-Gon with Yoda, or Ki-Adi-Mundi, or Mace Windu, or any other one of the Jedi Knights in the PT, you would end up with the same Obi-Wan.

I dunno.

Now adding my own opinion to the Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan conversation: even though Master Yoda or Mace Windu would have been as good a mentor as Qui-Gon has been, I think that Qui-Gon's death had a huge influence on Obi-Wan and the way he trained Anakin. Qui-Gon's death was the first time (from my perspective) where he experienced deep personal loss and that might have changed how he thought and viewed things and choices for example: "Qui-Gon would have done this/would have wanted me to make this choice"

But then again, this is only my opinion. I'm not a psychiatrist in a galaxy far, far away! _________________We fight, we earn, we never learn. And through it all, the hero falls...

Yes. It's very rude when that happens and it slows down the game. By slowing down I'm talking days, weeks even.
Please bare that in mind before joining us.
One more thing Baloo&Bianca. If you decide to join us, don't rely on the Topic reply mail too much, because it becomes moody and evil when it has to work for this thread.

^I don't think it was too late to begin with Caedus

As far as I know you have not dropped out. Plus Reep hasn't declared the victor yet.

This might be a good time to do another player checklist. Bad TV style.

The A-Wing is my favourite Star wars ship by far... but I'm going to have to go with Solo. Forgive me, A-Wing._________________

A-Wing is one of my favorites fighters. I love A-Wing.
But unlike Han, it doesn't shoot first.
